Production of xylanase and CMCase on solid state fermentation in different residues by Thermoascus aurantiacus miehe

TLDR
In this paper, the authors studied the production of CMCase and xylanase by a Brazilian strain of Thermoascus aurantiacus in solid state fermentation (SSF) using different agricultural residues (wheat bran, sugarcane bagasse, orange bagasse and corn straw) as substrates without enrichment of the medium and characterized the crude enzymes.

Molecular and biotechnological aspects of xylanases

TL;DR: Many lines of evidence suggest that xylanases operate via a double displacement mechanism in which the anomeric configuration is retained, although some of the enzymes catalyze single displacement reactions with inversion of configuration.
